Gummy Smile Procedure (Before & After)

A gummy smile occurs when too much gum tissue shows when you smile, making your teeth appear shorter or uneven. While it’s not usually a medical concern, it can affect your confidence and the balance of your smile.
At Smile Dental Lounge, we offer precise and minimally invasive gummy smile correction to reshape your gum line and create a more harmonious, natural appearance.
Our approach combines aesthetic design, gentle techniques, and advanced technology for stunning results.
The goal is simple — to help you smile freely and confidently again.
A beautiful smile starts with the right balance between teeth and gums.

How is this done?

Gummy Smile Procedure (Before & After)
  • Gum Contouring (Gingivoplasty): Removes excess gum tissue for a more balanced smile.
  • Crown Lengthening: Exposes more of the tooth surface if teeth appear too short.
  • Deep Cleaning: Treats inflammation and reduces the risk of gum disease.
  • Surgical Sculpting: Depending on your case, we use the most suitable technique for a comfortable experience.
  • Minimally Invasive Techniques: Provide natural-looking results with minimal discomfort.
